You really need to build OpenSSL from source, its the only way to make
sure that everything works.

I'm not really clear on why a sound editor needs encryption support
though.  Where did you get the RPM for Audacity?  Why not just build it
from source?  My guess is unless there is some good reason to have SSL
support in Audacity, you could just build it without.  Or even if you
build it with the OpenSSL support, it should build against what you have
already.

Lessen for today:
RPMs are bad kids.  SRPMs are better.
